Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Fanny Robinson was born about 1855 in Tasmania – the daughter of Captain James William Robinson and Jane Parsons Bentley.

She married Henry Fordham Gaylor, a mining manager, on 7 November 1879 at George’s Bay, Tasmania and they had three children in New Zealand.

When Fanny signed the suffrage petition the family were living in Sunnydale, North East Valley in Dunedin.

Henry died in 1908 and Fanny died on 21 June 1930 – they are buried together in the Northern Cemetery.
